Does the insurance company cover a dead car battery?
1 Answers
It is not covered by the insurance company's policy, and the repair must be paid for out of pocket. Here is some extended information about car batteries: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Their lifespan varies from 1 to 8 years, and their normal service life is closely related to the condition of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, they can last more than 3 years without issues. 2. Common causes of damage: Mismatch between the size of the terminal post and the clamp head. If installed too loosely, the high starting current, small contact area, or poor contact can easily burn out the terminal post. Excessive charging current. This can cause the active material on the plates to fall off prematurely, shortening the battery's lifespan. Prolonged starting time. This leads to rapid discharge of the battery, causing the plates to bend and the active material to crack.
